I've got a good amount of deer meat including some nice backstrap steaks I need to get to eating on. I know how to fry it which is good, but I really like to cook stuff on my Weber Kettle over some charcoal and pecan or hickory for smoke flavor. I've not tried the small pieces but thinking it's going to be hard to keep it from drying out too much. I like mine a little pink and juicy - NOT gray and dry throughout. I was thinking about skewering some chunks on some bamboo spears and maybe basting with olive oil or something. Y'all got any recipes for cooking deer meat on a charcoal grill? I'm not really into lots of wild spicy stuff but willing to try about anything for experimenting.
I been making jerkey out of it lately and that is some GOOD stuff!!! This deer has a very mild flavor, not in the least strong so I don't really need to disguise it - just want to keep it juicy instead of dry. Thanks,...Jon

Jon, sounds like you have the right Idea. already. Place a few veggies and sprinkle a little Tony Chachere's and your done.

What we used to do is cook up some bacon, suck the grease into a suringe with a needle, and inject every couple inches..man I'm going to have to do that again..good stuff

If they are little chunks wrap in bacon and just get the bacon done. To spice it up add a slice of jalapeno.I would do it all over a low low to almost medium fire.On a weber set them outside the fire for a little smokeing then toss to the center. I almost always cook them on my bradley smoker that way and they are tender and tastey. Hope you enjoy.

Marinade in zesty Italian dressing in the fridge overnight, then grill. Adds some seasoning flavor and the oil helps keep the outside from drying out. Good stuff!

Jon, when it comes to cooking, I’m all about simplicity, and one reason I like the grill, no cleaning. But here is how a cook it, just like I do duck, a marinate in olive oil with your favorite spice, throw on a very hot grill, sear both sides, then turn down heat or move to indirect heat, the real trick tho is to just no over cook it, serve medium.

Butterfly your backstrap, sprinkle liberally with Cavenders, put in fridge for a couple of hours. Take out of fridge and put a big dollop of cream cheese (the more the better), jalapeno slice, red bell pepper slice, sweet onion slice, and then fold over. Wrap in bacon and skewer with a couple of toothpicks to hold the bacon on. Try to use the bacon to cover the meat and keep the good stuff inside. Grill over mesquite as slow as you can. When the bacon is done, it is ready.
When I say slice for the bell pepper and onion, it is more of a sliver but you can figure it out.

jerk kabobs. make Kabobs with venison, tomato, pineapple, green peppers, and mushrooms. marinate in 3 parts italian dressing to 1 part liquid jerk seasoning. Careful, that jerk seasoning will take your hair off. I do the same recipe for hogs.

I cook the backstraps whole on my Weber Kettle over mesquite chunks to right at 130 degrees, let them sit for 5 minutes, then cut them at about an inch and a half thickness. Perfect, juicy and pink.
That might not be much help though since yours are already cut.

Ag81, that sounds very good. This batch is already cut up, but won't be long till I'm thinking about getting another one, so some questions for you:
Are you leaving the whole backstrap in tact as one long piece? I think I might want to cut mine at least in half. Also, is the 130 degrees an internal meat temperature? I seen a digital remote thermometer the other day that looks like it might be just the ticket for monitoring the meat temp. Lastly, do you put anything on it, marinate, or baste it with anything?
It sure sounds like it would come out nice and jucy which is what I'm looking for. Thanks,...Jon

i like to take about a 1.5 inch cross section of the backstrap and wrap it completely in bacon around the edge..kinda like a filet mignon...then , lightly coat with olive oil and then season it(i love garlic , salt , pepper and tony sasseries)....hot to med hot fire..3-4 minutes on each side direct heat...then move to the side for some indirect..keep an eye on the bacon , when it gets crisp/dark the meat is ready..the main deal with grilling strap is the cooking time...cook just enough to get a good color but dont over do it..yea , im getting hungry for it..time for lunch see yall
